I haven’t heard anything back from the National Anthem audition, and since it happened Feb. 21, and they told me letters would be sent out to winners within 3 weeks, I’m pretty sure I won’t be. Nothing wrong with that, though. The point was to have the experience, and I had it. Yay! I also gave myself the experience of submitting a video-audition through the X Factor’s website–accidentally.
That is, I fully intended to submit an audition, but I thought I was just doing a trial run, so I did it in my jammies, having just rolled out of bed, and answered the Simon Cowell questions with bemusement from under a fan, so my voice is nearly drowned out with static sounds. I did not realize it was the actual audition. Bwahahaha! The interns whose job I’m sure it is to cull through the chaff will likely have a great laugh over my Buddy Holly frames and Fraggle hair. I will be the Why Factor. If I can figure out how to pull the video, I’ll link it. Why should interns have all the fun?
I think I could re-record and re-submit, but I haven’t found the time yet. Maybe I should go do that now?
Lookie here. Look what I found. You have to suffer through my inane answers to the interview questions to get to my 45-some-seconds of God Bless the Child. If you click the button to “watch with questions” it will make more sense. Well, it will have some continuity anyway.
Enjoy.
